“I know I said in my last letter that I didn’t write this for your forgiveness, While that’s the truth, I’m not going to pretend that I’m not praying on my knees for your forgiveness, hoping for a miracle. I’m not going to act like I won’t be sitting at that restaurant for hours upon end, hoping you walk through those doors. Because that’s exactly where I’ll be.

But if that doesn’t happen and you never show, I’ll still be grateful to you until the day that I die.”
